That Time Of Year

Yeah, it’s a week late, but I wasn’t even going to post the song this year until I found this version. It’s twice as awesome because this video is also performed in American Sign Language. Warning: This video is NSFW (language only) in two languages simultaneously! I’m not even remotely fluent, but I have had to give presentations in ASL (with much coaching) and this just kicks over my giggle box.

Fuck ATM. Seriously, who the fuck uses that anymore?

Blogiversary

Apparently mine was yesterday. It’s been one year and 160 posts since I started this blog.

Pocketses 2

Continuing the meme started by Marko, here were the contents of my pockets and belt when I came home this evening:

From top to bottom and left to right:

Smith and Wesson 1911PD, “Gunsite”, .45ACP
Spare Wilson Combat 47D Magazine
Key chain, with Utilikey, flints, and spare lighter fluid
Casio digital/analog watch
Leatherman Charge TTi
Surefire E2L Outdoorsman
Black Crackle Zippo lighter
Lamy Safari Charcoal with fine nib
Mantis Knives “Classier Act” pocketknife
DIFRWear RFID-blocking wallet
Work phone: Motorola Q
Personal phone: Nokia E71x
64GB iPod Touch

You can see that I have added a bit since I did this last year. Two things from last year are missing; my Mantis Knives Necessikey was confiscated by TSA on my way to some convention last year and I upgraded my personal cell phone. I bought the Lamy pen partly on Marko’s recommendation with the hope that if I spent a few dollars on a pen and made it my dedicated “carry pen” that it might not go missing like all my cheap disposable pens. So far, so good, as I’ve been carrying it for about a month and it is still handy whenever I need a writing instrument. I bought the iPod mainly because it’s a better music player than my Kindle (for airplanes), and I find that I use it all the time so I consider it money well-spent. The Zippo I purchased mainly because I wanted one. No compelling reason, really.

Happy New Year!

I just got home from a rockin’ New Year’s Party. I hope everyone else had a good time last night and has a great 2010!

Gun Nuts!

Eseell — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 23:13:08 +0000

It’s the end of the year, which means last night was the year-end recap for Gun Nuts Radio. I actually called in last night to gripe about Crappy Nappy, Arizona’s former governor and everyone’s favorite Secretary of Homeland Security. I can’t wait to see (or hear) what those Gun Nuts are doing next year.

Merry Christmas!

I will be spending the day cooking steak and then hiding from family. I hope yours goes well!

Arizona Blogshoot

Kevin Baker wants to organize an Arizona blogshoot for next month in Casa Grande. It looks like Saturday the 12th may be the date. Whenever it is, I’ll be there. Spread the word, ‘Zonies.

Update: Blogshoot is on for the 12th.

Home!

I have returned from Detroit. NANOG was full of great networking stuff, I picked up a bunch of good security tricks. ARIN was boring as hell, it was all nerd politics. I had lunch with TD on Monday at Miller’s Bar, which serves very good burgers. I’d say the burger was right on par with the burgers over at the Heart Attack Grill, which serves the best burgers in Phoenix. In other news I just installed Windows 7, which upgraded my 64-bit Vista install with zero problems. I haven’t done any extensive testing, but so far, so good. Also, the topic of this week’s Vicious Circle is open carry. Hie the hence and listen.

I have arrived in Detroit for NANOG 47. This is the first event I’ve attended where there is an actual PGP key signing party. I think that makes this the nerdiest place I’ve been since college.
